California Governor Gavin Newsom met with President Donald Trump and Congressional leaders to advocate for immediate federal assistance in the wake of devastating wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles County in January. Newsom stressed the urgent need for 'unconditional disaster aid' to support survivors rebuilding their lives.
During an Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump on Wednesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom spoke on the critical need for federal assistance as Los Angeles County recovers from a series of devastating wildfires in January.'As we approach one month since the devastating wildfires across Southern California, we continue to cut red tape to speed up recovery and clean up efforts as well as ensure rebuilding efforts are swift,' Gov. Newsom said in a statement.
Their meeting comes just weeks after Trump visited Los Angeles to tour the devastation left behind by the Eaton and Palisades Fires, which killed more than two dozen people and razed thousands of L.A. County homes to the ground in early January. Newsom's statement says that at that time, he first raised the critical need for support from the federal government to help families as they begin to rebuild.
